Mike Hawthorn
Mike Hawthorn was born on April 10th 1929, in Mexborough, Yorkshire. In 1931 the family moved to Farnham, Surrey, where Mike's father Leslie went into partnership with motorcycle racer C.W. " Paddy" Johnstone and set up the Tourist Trophy Garage, selling and tuning motorcycles and cars. When Mike was nine years old he attended Barfield Preparatory School in Runfold, just outside Farnham. He was a cheerful pupil, but only an average scholar as he placed a greater emphasis on sport and athletics than his schoolwork. Mike passed his common entrance exams and in 1942 went to Ardingly College, an expensive public school near Haywards Heath in Sussex. It was here, due to his thick shock of blond, almost white hair that he gained the nickname of "Snowball". Having wasted most of his time on non-academic pursuits he left school in the summer of 1946 to further pursue his love of cars and motorcycles.
Late in 1946, Mike began a four year apprenticeship at Dennis Bros. of Guildford, which he didn't much care for, for this stopped or at least restricted the time he could spend having fun with cars and bikes, and his gang of friends known as the "Members".
Mike Hawthorn made his competition debut on 2nd September at the Brighton Speed Trials and by the end of his first season he had several wins under his belt, together with the Brooklands Memorial Trophy; quite a year. Hawthorns main successes came at the beginning of the '52 season. Hawthorn was not known at this point by the majority of motor racing fans, but the Goodwood Meeting soon changed that! For after the race day all talk was about the blond-haired young driver who won his first two races and came second in the Formula One Race. Mike was driving the Cooper-Bristol Special Brew for the first time, and he caused quite a stir, for suddenly he was England's great hope – a racing driver who could out drive established champions.
Mike continued with success after success. By the end of the 1952 season he had so impressed Enzo Ferrari that it was announced that in the 1953 season Mike would drive a Ferrari . The 1953 season started in average fashion for Mike – he was after all one of Ferrari's junior drivers and the established Italian drivers were offered the best cars – so Mike was given the leftovers. However, the French Grand Prix changed everyone's views. Hawthorn won his first Grand Prix, beating Fangio by one second, and from here started his real journey into motor racing history. Mike Hawthorn became one of Britain's most famous racing drivers during his short career, which included wins at the Le Mans 24 hour race and at Sebring, both in the Jaguar D-Type. He crowned his career in 1958 by becoming Britains first Formula One World Champion. Tragically, he was killed in an accident on normal roads, just months after his retirement.
The "Farnham Flyer", as he was known locally, was truly one of Britain's great drivers, and his name and spirit live on through the original Tourist Trophy Garage, now renamed Hawthorn's in his honour.
Established in 1994 on the site of the Tourist Trophy Garage the spirit was reborn. With a passion for performance and prestige cars and a strong interest in motorsport we opened the doors as franchised TVR dealers and set about racing in the TVR Tuscan challenge.
By 2005 we had moved away from TVR and focused on the sports and prestige market selling and servicing all makes and models from Porsche, BMW, Mercedes, Audi and Jaguar and Land Rover to name a few.
We continued our involvement in motorsport but our focus was changed to GT cars and Endurance racing where we sponsored a retired director of Hawthorns who was determined not to hang his gloves up! We headed off to Donnington for the first outing in the newly acquired BMW Z3 M coupe... Despite every effort by all involved with the car it simply wasn't competitive and after several races it was decided that something faster was needed! The BMW was replaced with a GT2 class Porsche 996 and by 2008 we had achieved the ultimate goal: Britcar GT class 2 and overall champions!
2013-2014 we supported a car in the Fun Cup series missing out on third overall by 1 point!
2014 also saw some driver development where we sponsored a Farnham local Miss Jessica Hawkins to drive in a Renault Clio Cup car at Rockingham Raceway and again in a Formula Ford single seat car at Silverstone.

Jimmy Fallon's Breaking Bad Parody Is Here, with Delightful Cameos
Bryan Cranston, Aaron Paul, and Bob Odenkirk pop up.
It's called "Joking Bad," it's thirteen minutes long, and it features cameos from Bryan Cranston, Aaron Paul, Bob Odenkirk, the tighty-whities, even the ginormous roof-pizza. Fallon and Steve Higgins concoct jokes instead of meth, and Higgins never misses his chance to say "bitch." The best part of it all would be how in love the entire thing is with Breaking Bad, if the best part wasn't already Jay Leno's spectacular participation. Wait and see, bitch.

Villagers want council to promote light-up
THE Santa Claus of Sanctuary Village at Lennox Head has called on Ballina Shire Council to reassess its decision not to actively promote the Christmas light-ups held in the shire.
John Moloney, who has been part of the village's light-up for 10 years and plays the role of Santa for visiting children - complete with a sleigh outside his residence - was prompted to make his comments after reading Mayor David Wright's column in last week's Advocate, in which Cr Wright said how much he enjoyed the light-ups.
Mr Moloney, stressing that he did not want "to sound like a grouch", said that in the past the council had promoted the light-ups by publishing maps, and had organised buses, in conjunction with bus companies, to take people on light-up tours.
He said the council reasoned that it was not right to promote an overuse of electricity in these times of increasing power bills.
"We have a difference of opinion here," Mr Moloney said.
He said that when people were visiting light-ups at places like Sanctuary Village, they were not using power at home.
"I reckon it at least balances out," Mr Moloney said.
He said he had not noticed any spike in his power bills after the Christmas light-up.
"Over the last three or four years, everyone has been using the LEDs, which are cheaper to run," Mr Moloney said.
"And a lot of them now are using solar power. I had five solar sets running."
Sanctuary Village light-ups have been fundraisers, through a voluntary donation system, for groups such as the fire brigade, the surf club, Ballina hospital, Our House and Biala Special School. Mr Moloney estimated that about $10,000 had been raised.
He would like to see the council help make people aware of the light-ups in the shire.
"They don't have to offer prizes - our biggest problem is letting people know what's going on," Mr Moloney said.
"It's just an awareness thing."

While I've never really understood the public's fascination with celebrities' mundane daily activities (so they shop for groceries… so what?), this past week's huge news on the celeb-sighting front is, in my book, actually news: Beyoncé publicly breastfed her infant daughter, Blue Ivy, while dining in a restaurant with hubby Jay-Z, and it's caused a bit of a stir. Sure, it's voyeuristic for anyone to have even taken note at the time, or taken interest afterward, but Beyoncé knows as well as the next A-lister that she's a walking, talking PR-machine, even when she's just having lunch. Whether she nursed in public as a 'lactivist' or simply as a mommy doing her thing, doing so lent some mainstream, glam goodwill to breastfeeding moms everywhere (whom the American public still regards with a weirdly aggressive brand of squeamishness).
As much as it's caused a temporary tizzy, too, Beyoncé's casual approach to letting the world know she's chosen to breastfeed will ultimately, I hope, serve to re-acclimate the public eye to what is, in fact, a super normal—not to mention inoffensive— thing to see: a mom feeding her baby. From her breast. Because that's where breast milk comes from. What Beyoncé's NIP (nursing in public) action says to me is, 'See people? No biggie.'
Beyoncé is, of course, a pretty big deal, and her influence may provide a positive boost to breastfeeding stats among black moms, who breastfeed at lower rates than other women in the US do. New AAP guidelines-- based on an enormous body of research demonstrating breast milk's far-reaching health benefits for babies (not to mention nursing's benefits for moms, and society-at-large)-- now recommend all babies breastfeed exclusively for at least six months after birth. Miss Sasha Fierce surely just helped score a bunch more babies, African-American and otherwise, a shot at reaching that goal.
Now, Beyoncé's been all-around awesome for a long time (I mean, seriously: this is simply genius), and, as a new mom, landed herself a prime position from which to break down some of the social barriers, anyway, that stand between women and breastfeeding success… Leave it to her to find a perfectly graceful, understated, yet unapologetic way to do so. That woman's got stardom and class to burn, and this blog's official statement back is Go Mama, Go.
So what do you think of Beyoncé's nursing in public?

In a recent issue of the Times, Dargis wrote an essay about women in Hollywood. The commercial American film industry remains an astoundingly sexist enterprise, and the sexism is systemic, as Dargis shows. Even if you think you know how bad the situation is, the statistics are breathtaking:
Only a handful of female directors picked up their paychecks from one of the six major Hollywood studios and their remaining divisions this year: 20th Century Fox had "Jennifer's Body" (Karyn Kusama) and "Alvin and the Chipmunks: The Squeakquel" (Betty Thomas), while Fox Searchlight had "Amelia" (Mira Nair), "Post Grad" (Vicky Jenson) and "Whip It" (Drew Barrymore). Anne Fletcher directed "The Proposal" for Disney, while the studio's once-lustrous division, Miramax Films, continued on its death march without any help from female directors. Ms. Ephron's "Julie & Julia" was released by Sony Pictures while the art-house division Sony Pictures Classics released "An Education" (Ms. Scherfig), "Coco Before Chanel" (Anne Fontaine) and "Sugar" (Anna Boden, directing with Ryan Fleck). Universal Pictures has Nancy Meyers's "It's Complicated"; its specialty unit Focus Features has no female directors.The Jezebel website has now published an interesting interview with Dargis about the essay and about the relationship between women and Hollywood. Her replies to the questions are sharp, succinct, and peppered with the wonderful vernacular vocabulary the Times never lets her use...
Paramount Pictures and Warner Brothers Pictures, meanwhile, did not release a single film directed by a woman. Not one.
The only thing Hollywood is interested in money, and after that prestige. That's why they'll be interested in something like [Kathryn Bigelow's] The Hurt Locker. She's done so well critically that she can't be ignored.
Let's acknowledge that the Oscars are bullshit and we hate them. But they are important commercially... I've learned to never underestimate the academy's bad taste. Crash as best picture? What the fuck.

What is it?
firetrucks.u is a code package designed to allow mappers to more easily create powerful narratives in Unreal 227. Well, it isn't THAT dependent on 227. 227i was still in development when a lot of this was coded, and it started development on 227h.
What does it do?
There are utilities for cutscenes, dialogue, complicated point-and-click adventure game sequences, a large number of triggers, and much more.
- Interact with actors in new and unprecedented ways with UseEventAssociator
- Have a chat with pawns (or other actors) with the all new DialogueNode class
- Create complex and powerful puzzle sequences and more with the deterministic finite automata suite (1000% easier than it sounds!)
- Special extra interactive inventory items and triggers for improved player inventory experience
- Complete rework of translator into Journal which not only hold old messages but can display images and much more
- Many new triggers subclasses for triggering in specific ways or performing in certain ways while triggered. Way too much stuff to list here
- MouseTriggers suite allowed dedicated mappers to create complex point and click adventure game like sequences
- Some new decoration classes because why not
- Even more!
Wasn't supposed to be for Weedrow 2?
Yeah, it was. I'd rather not talk about it in a public thread. PM me if you must discuss it.
Will it work with coop?
Certain things I know will break. Other stuff isn't tested at all. This was designed first and foremost for single player.
Is there any documentation?

Santoni Opens Flagship Boutique in Milan
Feb 24, 2013, 03:26 EST
MILAN, Feb. 24, 2013 /PRNewswire/ -- Santoni, luxury Italian shoemaker, celebrated the opening of its Flagship boutique at 6 via Montenapoleone last night.
(Photo: http://photos.prnewswire.com/prnh/20130224/NY65329 )
Created in 1975 by Andrea Santoni, and since handed to his son Giuseppe, Santoni pursued its vision refining the cultural heritage of craftsmanship and Italian excellence. The distinctive features of the brand – quality, passion for details, and rigorous handmade workmanship – remained unchanged through time.
Guests, including Academy Award Winner Juliette Binoche, were welcomed by President and CEO Giuseppe Santoni and sipped on champagne while they viewed Santoni's contemporary men's shoes, women's shoes, and accessories.
Santoni collaborated with architect Patricia Urquiola to bring the concept to life in the retail space and to highlight the brand's unique design and exquisite quality in the store as well as the products.
Precise artisan craftsmanship and creativity used to create each pair of Santoni shoes gave Urquiola the inspiration to enclose the space in a modular grid of geometric shapes. Throughout the two rooms, Urquiola uses materials of the highest natural quality which include polished walnut paneling and a geometric network of metal brass.

Price: From $13 to $36 per month ($130 to $360 per year), depending on number of users and access points needed.
Pros: Simple set up and maintenance; platform-independent; supports multiple locations; inexpensive
Cons: Crude user interface; lacks advanced features found in many conventional RADIUS products.
When you need to secure a business Wi-Fi network, using the popular Pre-Shared Key (PSK) flavor of WPA or WPA2 (a.k.a. WPA/WPA2 Personal) is good, but it's not really good enough if you want the most secure wireless network possible. For that, you need WPA/WPA2 Enterprise, which performs authentication against a RADIUS server, but adding a RADIUS server to a network typically involves a level of cost and/or complexity that many companiesparticularly small onesare unable or unwilling to bear.
AuthenticateMyWiFi's offers such firms a hosted RADIUS authentication service promising straightforward setup and administration as well as a modest price tag, and although the features list is basic and the administration UI is a bit too Spartan, AuthenticateMyWiFi does deliver on its promises. (Editor's Note: AuthenticateMyWiFi is operated by periodic Wi-Fi Planet contributor Eric Geier.)
When compared to a traditional server-based RADIUS product, the hosted nature of AuthenticateMyWiFi imparts a few important benefits right off the bat. For starters, there's platform independence, and thus no need to be concerned about compatibility with Windows, Mac, or Linux. Also, since it's Web-based, AuthenticateMyWiFi can be administered—both locally and remotely—from any Internet-connected browser. Finally, the service can support access points in several locations, eliminating the need to have RADIUS servers in multiple offices or to configure a single server to traverse NAT and firewalls in order to communicate with remote offices.
Server, AP and User Account Setup
The first step to getting AuthenticateMyWiFi up and running involves setting up access points and user accounts through the Web-based administrative control panel. Depending on the level of service you choose, AuthenticateMyWiFi will accommodate up to 100 access points and an equal number of user accounts, but you must create each AP entry and user account manuallyat the moment, there's no provision to pull in users from a back-end database or to import user/AP lists from a text or CSV file. (The vendor reports that both features are planned, with the latter scheduled to appear first.) Luckily, AuthenticateMyWiFi's administration control panel is exceedingly simple, and not a lot of information is needed—MAC address and shared secret for APs, name and password for user accounts—so the setup process is quick and easy provided you're only dealing with a handful of APs or users.
The next step, which is equally swift and straightforward, is to configure access points to use WPA/WPA2 Enterprise, which involves pointing them to AuthenticateMyWiFi's IP address, specifying UDP ports for RADIUS authentication and accounting (the service uses the default of UDP 1812 and 1813) and entering the aforementioned shared secret.
One caveat: While attempting to configure a Netgear WNDR3700 to use RADIUS, we discovered that the router would reject as invalid any RADIUS server IP address that was outside the local subnet, in spite of the fact that the documentation explicitly stated the RADIUS server could be on the LAN or WAN side. We don't know how prevalent this issue is with other makes and/or models of Wi-Fi hardware, and although it's not something you're likely to encounter when dealing with enterprise-level equipment, small businesses using SoHo or consumer-level devices might want to check them in advance to make sure they don't preclude you from using an outside RADIUS server.
Client Configuration
The final step is to configure all the clients (they can be wireless or wired) to connect to Wi-Fi via 802.1x authentication. This is potentially the most involved and time-consuming part of the process (especially if you have lots of clients), but fortunately, AuthenticateMyWiFi's 14-page PDF manual provides detailed instructionscomplete with illustrative screen shots—on how make the proper configuration changes to Windows (XP/Vista/7) and Mac OS X systems. (The vendor says it's also working on a utility that will automate the client configuration process for Windows systems.)
Incidentally, AuthenticateMyWiFi only supports one of the half-dozen or so EAP types officially certified by the Wi-Fi Alliance, but it is arguably the most popular one, PEAPv0/EAP-MSCHAP v2, which provides authentication via username and password.
Access Restrictions and Logging
If you want to have AuthenticateMyWiFi restrict access to your network under certain conditions, you have several options to choose from. You can limit a user's access to particular access points or from specific computers, restrict network access to scheduled times and days of the week, and set user accounts to expire on a given day and time. (One missing option that we'd like to see is the ability to lock out a user after a certain number of bad passwords.)
The bare-bones nature of AuthenticateMyWiFi's user interface goes from help to hindrance when trying to configure the aforementioned access restrictions, though. Case in point: when creating a device or access point restriction for a user, you must type in the appropriate MAC address rather than being able to pick one from a list. Similarly, when setting up login time restrictions there are no pick lists or drop down menus for entering the parameters. Instead, you must specify time restrictions in a single field via alphanumeric shorthand—e.g. Wk0800-2000, Sa 0900-1200 to allow access only from 8 a.m. to 8 p.m. weekdays and from 9 a.m. to noon on Saturdays—and be careful to enter the information correctly as there's no warning if you enter invalid parameters or commit a typo (in fact, the field will accept gibberish without protest). Plus, you can't specify a time zone, so all times must be expressed in terms of Eastern time.
AuthenticateMyWiFi's activity log records basic session info like a user's client MAC, the MAC and SSID of the connected access point, as well as the time a user logs in and out of the network. The logs can only be viewed live from the control panel, not outputted to a file for offline scrutiny. Also there's no support for alerting upon events like failed logins, etc.
AuthenticateMyWiFi offers a four-tier pricing scheme that compares very favorably to the $600-$800 starting price tag typical of most conventional RADIUS product. The base service level accommodates up to 10 users and up to 5 access points at a cost of $13 per month or a discounted price of $130 if paid a year up front. On the high end, $36 per month or $360 yearly scales the service up to support from 61 to 100 users and 31 to 100 access points, and also adds the ability to automatically assign users to VLANs, a feature which the lowest tier lacks. All plans include tech support via e-mail. (There's also a free version of the service, but its practical usefulness is quite limited since it's restricted to a single access point and a lone user.)
The Bottom Line
AuthenticateMyWiFi doesn't offer the same level of power and flexibility found in many third-party RADIUS servers products or in free or effectively free products like the open-source, Linux-based, FreeRADIUS or IAS/NPS (Internet Authentication Service/Network Policy Server) in Windows Server 2003 and 2008, respectively. But it also doesn't offer page after page of labyrinthine configuration options or a high price tag, so if you're looking for solid, no-frills RADIUS with a reasonable cost, AuthenticateMyWiFi is worthy of serious consideration.

Trusted Bundles
Some usecases have a requirement to enable and disable bundles based on a notion of a trusted bundle. One way to establish trust is to sign a bundle with a trusted certificate. Configuring this usecase with the current signed bundle support is awkward and likely unmanageable.
The Problem
The Equinox Framework (version 3.3) supports signed bundles in the following ways:
- Verification of signer certificates. Does basic parsing of the certificates used to sign a bundle and associates the certificates with an installed bundle.
- Verification of certificate trust. Determines if a certificate should be trusted. Trust authorities can be registered with the Framework to effect the trust policy.
- Verification of content at runtime. Determines if the bundle content has been tampered with at runtime.
- Assign Java 2 permissions based on certificates used to sign a bundle. The ConditionalPermissionAdmin service and the BundleSignerCondition can be used to assign bundles permissions when a security manager is used.
Using the signed bundle support a framework could be configured to enable and disable bundles based on a notion of trusted signer certificates. To do this with the current implementation the Framework needs to be started with a security manager. Then the ConditionalPermissionAdmin and BundleSignerCondition can be used to assign AllPermissions to all bundles which are signed by a trusted certificate. Bundles which are not signed by a trusted certificate would not be granted any permissions. The OSGi specification defines ImportPackagePermission and BundlePermission permissions which must be granted to a bundle before they are allowed to access a package or bundle constraint. Bundles which have constraints (i.e. Import-Package, Require-Bundle, Fragment-Host etc.) would only be allowed to resolve if they have the permissions to access their constraints. If a bundle is not resolved then it cannot run code, export packages, contribute to the service registry or the eclipse extension registry etc.
In this case trusted bundles are granted AllPermissions and therefore would be able to resolve. Note that bundles which define no constraints would still be allowed to resolve even if they had no permissions. Using this approach a management agent can implement a policy to grant AllPermissions to only a trusted set of signers, but this approach has the following disadvantages.
- Requires a security manager.
- All bundles must be security aware. This involves defining the correct permissions and implementing the proper doPriv calls to protect clients from the unnecessary permission checks.
- Running with a security manager impacts performance significantly because of the extra overhead to perform permission checks.
- Bundles with no constraints would still be able to resolve. This may be a very small percentage of bundles but could be used to contribute bad extensions to the eclipse extension registry.
Running Eclipse with a security manager is currently not very attractive. Even if the performance was not an issue there are 10000s lines of code that need to be evaluated to security enable all the code in the Eclipse RCP downloads. This would not be a one time effort either. All of the eclipse committers will need to be educated on the issues of writing secure code and would have to maintain security for all new code contributed to Eclipse. This is a good long-term goal, bug can not be achieved in the short-term. Any short-term or mid-term solution should support not running with a security manager.
Bug 153847 has been opened to track a solution to this requirement.
Solution THOUGHTS
There are currently two solution thoughts for enabling the loadtime security feature.
Installed -> Resolved approach
Prevent the bundle from entering the RESOLVED state if it is not signed by a "good" or "trusted" signer. This way no code could be run or from the non-trusted bundle. One disadvantage with this approach is that ALL the bundles will go through the parsing and checking of certs part that is very expensive. One way to mitigate the problem is by having some caching of certificate parsing, however, it will get tricker when if bundles are signed w/ timestamps.
Resolved -> Active approach
Checking the trust bundles when they go from resolved to active state. This approach does not have parsing ALL bundles part as Installed->Resolved approach. However, this approach has below problems:
- Packages can be exported/imported
- Code can be executed from the bundle (unless the bundle has a lazy activation policy). Remember the BundleActivator is only one entry execution entry point for a bundle. Any package exported from the bundle can provide execution entry points which other bundles can call.
- The bundle can contribute extension points and extensions to the extension registry.

From the Latin word calx , lime. Though lime was prepared by the Romans in the first century under the name calx, the metal was not discovered until 1808. After learning that Berzelius and Pontin prepared calcium amalgam by electrolyzing lime in mercury, Davy was able to isolate the impure metal.
Calcium, a metallic element, is fifth in abundance in the earth's crust, of which it forms more than 3%. It is an essential constituent of leaves, bones, teeth, and shells. Never found in nature uncombined, it occurs abundantly as limestone, gypsum, and fluorite. Apatite is the fluorophosphate or chlorophosphate of calcium.
The metal has a silvery color, is rather hard, and is prepared by electrolysis of fused chloride and calcium fluoride (to lower the melting point).
Chemically it is one of the alkaline earth elements; it readily forms a white coating of nitride in air, reacts with water, burns with a yellow-red flame.
The metal is used as a reducing agent in preparing other metals such as thorium, uranium, zirconium, etc., and is used as a deoxidizer, desulfurizer, or decarburizer for various ferrous and nonferrous alloys. It is also used as an alloying agent for
air jordan 1 retro high og bred toe raffles
, beryllium , tenis nike free run 50 mercadolibre colombia
, black air max 90 nike black
, and nike air max 1 patch oge
alloys, and serves as a "getter" for residual gases in vacuum tubes, etc.
Its natural and prepared compounds are widely used. Quicklime (CaO), which is made by heating limestone that is changed into slaked lime by carefully adding water, is the great base of chemical refinery with countless uses.
When mixed with sand, it hardens mortar and plaster by taking up carbon dioxide from the air. Calcium from limestone is an important element in Portland cement.
Solubility of the carbonate in water containing carbon dioxide is high, which causes the formation of caves with stalactites and stalagmites and is responsible for hardness in water. Other important compounds are the carbide, chloride, cyanamide, hypochlorite, nitrate, and sulfide.

As friends, ENFPs are cheerful and supportive, always sharing and developing ideas, and staying open-minded, taking in others' thoughts and feelings. This warmth and sincerity makes people with the ENFP personality type masters of drawing people out of their shells, and as a result they tend to have a huge circle of friends.
More outgoing types will naturally gravitate towards them, but ENFPs will also go to great lengths and be surprisingly persistent in their efforts to get to know more reserved personalities. Their ability to tune into others and speak their language with that characteristic infectious enthusiasm helps them in this endeavor, and the allure of mystery that reserved types, especially Introverted Intuitives, bring to the table will keep ENFPs intrigued for years. These personality types may never be able to reciprocate the breadth of human interest that ENFPs present, but they do appreciate ENFPs' efforts.
But ENFPs' interest in others can be a double-edged sword – this pure idealism comes with certain expectations, and too often ENFPs hold their friends in an unrealistic light, expecting them to keep up with the constant flow of ideas and experiences that they consider integral to life. ENFPs put their whole hearts into their friendships, and it can come as a shock for them to find that their friends aren't the flawless Titans that they believed them to be. Whether it's simple social fatigue or a focus on the physical and the practical instead of the mystical, people with the ENFP personality type can find themselves disappointed by what they see as a lack of substance beneath the surface.
ENFPs tend to get deeply involved in others' lives, going to great lengths and efforts to be the selfless, caring and supportive people they are, and all the while forget to take care of themselves. Both in terms of basic needs like financial stability and rest, as well as more emotional needs like mutual understanding and reciprocation, ENFP personalities tend to give much more of themselves than most are even capable of giving back. This sort of imbalance isn't sustainable, as (seemingly) one-sided generosity often leads to criticism and resentment on both sides.
Luckily, ENFPs are open-minded and sincere enough in their friendships, and connect with and understand even their acquaintances well enough, that they recognize that not everyone expresses themselves in the same ways, and that that's okay. Their sensitivity may make it too challenging to play with more critical and argumentative personalities, such as strongly expressed Thinking (T) and Judging (J) types, but they do appreciate, even cherish, the company of most anyone who appreciates theirs, and the adventures and experiences they have together are the stuff a good life is made of.

By Joanna Connors, The Plain Dealer
new nike free flyknit 2014 nfl
CLEVELAND -- James Schamus makes his directing debut with "Indignation," but he's hardly a newbie in the independent film world.
As a screenwriter and producer, he has collaborated since 1992 with director Ang Lee on films as varied as "Eat Drink Man Woman," "Brokeback Mountain" and "Crouching Tiger, Hidden Dragon." As the longtime head of Focus Features, he championed the likes of Sofia Coppola, Todd Haynes and Mira Nair.
All of that experience informs his work writing and directing "Indignation," a finely calibrated, if a bit deliberate, adaptation of Philip Roth's 2008 coming-of-age novel.
It is 1951, and Marcus Messner (Logan Lerman) -- one of Roth's many literary alter egos -- is fleeing both the war in Korea and his overbearing Jewish parents in Newark, New Jersey, by heading to Ohio for college.
"Ohio?" says a neighbor, in a tone that suggests Marcus is planning to study with the pope himself at the Vatican. "How will you keep kosher?"
That's the least of Marcus's concerns once he arrives at Winesburg College (Sherwood Anderson reference intended) and discovers that he's one of just 80 Jews on a campus of 1,400, and that his presence will be required at weekly chapel for prayers and Christian teachings.
Before he leaves, his anxious father (Danny Burstein) is already in mourning, wailing, "If anything should happen to you! It's about the tiniest mistake that can happen to you!"
Which states, in blinking neon, the core theme of Roth's novel: Death is going to happen to you, like it or not, and you will make the decisions - or mistakes -- that cause it.
What mistakes does Marcus make at Winesburg? First, he falls for Olivia Hutton (Sarah Gadon), a dazzling, sexually liberated shiksa who turns out to be a deeply troubled girl. Then, he mixes it up in two extended arguments with the pompous Dean Caudwell (Tracy Letts), who admires Marcus's intellectual acumen but wants him to conform to the stultifying culture of Winesburg.
The first of these debates forms the centerpiece of "Indignation," a gambit that works far better in print than on screen. Though both actors handle the heated argument with agility and even a touch of wry humor, it's still 15 minutes of two people talking in an office, and it grows tiresome.
At a crisis point, Marcus's mother (Linda Emond) arrives from Newark on a rescue mission. In one of Roth's signature ironies, though, her meddling is that "tiniest mistake" in a chain of mistakes that lead to disaster.

Recent Moans from the Minions...
Zombi 2, Zombie, Zombie Flesh Eaters, Zombi.
Call it what you will. This 1979 movie by Lucio Fulci may not be the best zombie movie ever made, but it is worth a look. At the very least, watch the underwater zombie-vs-shark scene (with the actual shark trainer as the zombie; a last minute casting decision when the original stunt actor was unavailable the day before the shoot. Coincidence?). You can watch a clip of it further in this post.
I could go into more detail about the different titles this film went by around the world or what to expect in terms of plot, but Tim Brayton over on "Antagony & Ecstasy" does a great review with loads of information.
And don't go looking for Zombi Part 1, because this movie isn't actually a sequel. There just happened to be another movie out at the time called 'Zombie', so to differentiate it, they called it part 2. Because that's less confusing. Apparently.
Fellow frighteners, you may have seen the work of Ghoulish Gary Pullin before, but let me formally introduce you.
After earning a degree in graphic design and advertising, Pullin moved to Toronto from London (Ontario). For a time he was producing work for the corporate market, but soon Pullin became involved with Rue Morgue (which is where most of you have probably seen his work. And for any of you who thought to yourself 'What is Rue Morgue?', sweet lord. Get thee to their website).
When he isn't adding creepy-cool to Rue Morgue, he's creating web illustrations, posters (for bands like Canadian horrorbillies The Creepshow) and other various commercial pieces (all worth a peek). One day when I finish building the bones of this site, and come into money, perhaps I'll ask him to spookify my own little real estate on the web. Donations gladly accepted *wink*.
Until then, I've posted a couple of my favourite pieces here on this blog, including a nifty drawing of the 'Hilarious House of Frightenstein'.
If you were a kid growing up in Canada after 1970, chances are you can recognize the images shown here. 'The Hilarious House of Frightenstein' was a little show produced in Hamilton, Ontario. It did get some American exposure but it certainly wasn't as widespread south of the border. Frightenstrein was the brainchild of Billy Van who played almost all of the characters that appeared in the show.
Personally, I liked to watch Grizzelda the Ghastly Gourmet, and felt bad every time Igor was denied a new pet. I'd wait for the Gorilla sketch to see it get pelted with ping-pong balls in new and creative ways.
Ok you Rockin' Rottens, listen up. If you like spooky tunes, jittery jazz and Halloween ditties, get yourself over to Mostly Ghostly Music Sharing Blaaahhhggg. Once there, you will find loads of hard (or impossible) to find ghoulish music to last you for a long, long time.
Dave, a gentleman in NY State, posts his rare finds to share with any fellow collectors or fans. You'll find:
Raymond Castile, reporter and documentary film producer ('In Love with Toys', 1995), has put together a collection of classic monster toys and masks from the 1960's to the 1990's. Hundreds of photographs await you on The Gallery of Monster Toys, many showing items that can make a ghoul drool.
Prompted by the threat of these collections being forgotten, Castile has gathered images to remind us of what was, including Mego toys and masks by Don Post.
When asked what his favourite toy was, Castile picked the AHI Creature from the Black Lagoon action figure (specifically, the 'male' version with the wider waist).
If you reach the end of his catalogue and haven't run out of steam, go to his links page and start monster hunting all over again.
I love promoting local talent. Today, it's Laura Vegys, another Toronto artist. I'm usually not too into watercolours, but I think her work is thought-provoking and well done. Or perhaps I've been swayed by the free magnets she was giving away at her booth at the Toronto Outdoor Art Exhibit held this past weekend. I mean...free magnets! Come on!
From her bio:
"I am a watercolor painter who loves melodramatic and tragic stories. I paint pictures that reflect my ideas about sad situations, isolated individuals and painful moments. I often channel my strong opinions about life through these images, but I love that people always make their own stories about what the images mean to them.
Based out of Montreal, Dana De Kuyper creates 'Damned Dollies', a collection of plush little ladies who are all a bit off-kilter.
Yetch (my boyfriend) and I saw a stall for her at the recent Toronto Outdoor Art Exhibit. I've seen her things before at the Toronto One of A Kind Show (and was disappointed that all the t-shirts were long and slender, meaning I could possibly wear it as a headband or scarf but not an actual shirt). This time, she had simple black and white prints for sale at a very reasonable price. Yetch bought one that showed a doll with a yapping, vicious little razor-mouthed dog in her arms.
Absolutely stunning. Dark. Beautiful. These are words that came to mind as I stumbled upon Julia Hepburn's display stall in the maze of artists at Nathan Phillips Square this weekend for the Toronto Outdoor Art Exhibit.
She creates miniature worlds inside boxes and lampposts (some of which you can actually plug in) that make you feel like some sort of omnipotent being peeking into a smaller universe. Hepburn describes her art on her blog:
"I attempt to reclaim the innocence and curiosity of childhood. Each compartmentalized piece displays a single scene with virtually no context. Viewers are encouraged to use their imaginations in order to develop a narrative explaining the scene.
As mentioned in the last blog post, I've been sorting through the array of groups on Facebook. I thought I would list 4 groups of different categories that may be of interest.
Halloween Home Haunters is my immediate first pick. It's a fairly active group of people with a certain degree of home haunting experience. It's much like being on a forum, only with less members. So far, everyone seems pretty friendly. And as an added bonus, most of them seem to be from southern Ontario, Canada which suits me just fine.
Ah, Facebook. How you entertain me. The following is an overview of my dark journey through the spiralling depths of social networking.
I decided to join Facebook as Ghoul Friday (naturally). So if you are a fellow ghoulie, add me as a friend if you like. You can track which groups I think show possible potential or you can bring a group of interest to my attention (let me know in the friend request that you saw this post).
As of two days ago, there were 533 groups with the word "Halloween" in it. You should know that about 30 of those are actually fronts for a costume shop spammer who has created a collection of their own fake groups and has "commented" (read: pretended to be an innocent group member) on each and every Halloween-related site there is. Shame, shame on you.
The very first group at the top of the search list was a group (at first I thought it was Japanese, but I think it's Chinese) whose title was half in English, half in what I believe are Hanzi characters (*) which read "Oh my God,**Halloween ********". I was stumped since the group was labelled as being spiritual and had Christian links and posts (which made up the only bits of English available).
The best place to find current art and WIPs is Instagram
I'm also on Twitter but be prepared for political commentary
My self-published book is still available!
Craving more Halloween goodness?
Here are some sites to satisfy the hunger.

Sami rights leader addresses indigenous issuesUniversity of Hawaiʻi at Mānoa
Posted: Feb 4, 2011
Sami rights leader Magne Ove Varsi is the featured speaker of the 2011 Indigenous Rights Symposium, scheduled for Friday, February 11, and Saturday, February 12, on the UH Mānoa campus.
Varsi is a Sami rights leader and founder/director of the Gáldu Resource Centre for the Rights of Indigenous Peoples in Kautokeino, Norway. The center was created to increase information about the rights of Sami and other indigenous peoples. It is independent, governed by its own board, and funded by the Norwegian Ministry of Labour and Social Inclusions, and by the Norwegian Ministry of Foreign Affairs.
He has served as lecturer in journalism at the Sami University College, news editor for SVT Sápmi in connection with the establishment and joint Nordic Sámi TV news on SVT2, NRK 1 and YLE, and president of the Sámi Journalisstaid Seari (Sámi Journalists Association) from 1998-2001. He also addressed the United Nations in New York in May 2010 as part of Indigenous Peoples Month.
The Sami, or Saami, are one of the indigenous peoples of Northern Europe who inhabit the northern areas of Norway, Sweden, Finland, and the Kola Peninsula of Russia. They thrived until the early 1900s, when Norwegian authorities attempted to eradicate the Sami language and culture. Pockets of Sami communities thrived and, in 1989, the first Sami parliament in Norway was elected. In 2005, the Finnmark Act was passed, giving both the Sami Parliament and Finnmark Provincial Council joint responsibility to administer land (96% of the provincial area).

Pruning is one of the most essential and intimidating tasks a gardener can do. The best way to learn pruning is to have someone walk you through it step by step for each plant. That may not be possible for every gardener, so finding other resources is important.
While there are many gardening Web sites available on pruning, a well designed and illustrated book is still one of the best references. The Pruning Book, 2nd Edition (Taunton Press, 2010) by Dr. Lee Reich, is a revised version of his 1997 original. It covers not only the basics of good pruning practices, but also includes the proper pruning techniques for hundreds of plants. Some of the common and uncommon plants covered include, lilac, wisteria, tomato, houseplant, bougainvillea, hibiscus, apple, maple, and chrysanthemum. Beside the essential chapters on pruning trees, shrubs, hedges, fruits, nuts, and herbaceous plants, Reich includes chapters on special pruning techniques such as bonsai, pollarding, pleaching, and espalier. With more than 350 photos, illustrations, and detailed descriptions, this book covers almost any plant you've ever thought of pruning.

Inequality and essential services
The widening gap between the richest and poorest is tearing societies apart.
Too many still toil in extreme poverty. On the other extreme, wealth is increasingly concentrated in the hands of a few, who can use it to capture disproportionate power to shape the future.
The widening gap between the richest and poorest is damaging economies and pushing more people into poverty.
There are practical ways to close the gap.
From campaigning to end the financial secrecy that shelters trillions hidden in tax havens, to encouraging investment in universal education and healthcare – Oxfam is working to make sure that the poor get a share of the power and resources that will help to reduce poverty and inequality.

A letter arrived on my doormat at the end of last week from the USA! Not very often I get post from there, after I opened it it was a nice thank you card from OSUOSL thanking us for our last donation. OSUOSL provide us with rack space and pay for our bandwidth, so this is the least we can do to thank them for helping us.
Thank you OSUOSL! Here is the card:
More Site Maintenance
Fri, 29 Jul 2011 20:30:01
This weekend we will be removing the following wikis due to lack of usage:
In the future articles for manufacturers that do not have their own specific wiki will go in the main portal. When we have enough articles to justify a wiki for a manufacturer then we will create one and move the articles over.
In addition we will most likely be doing some updates to the rest of the wikis this weekend to bring them up to the latest version of MediaWiki. Also we are slowly fixing the links back to the new main portal – this work is on-going but coming together.
Site Updates
Sun, 24 Jul 2011 14:56:57
Today we updated all the forums to the latest version of phpBB and following this we upgraded the nas-central blog. Also we fixed an issue with news reporting to the wikis from the blog.
You may have noticed that we have changed the main portal back to a wiki too as this is useful for general articles that are not device specific. There is still some more content to restore to this area and a bunch of links that need fixing that link there from the other wikis – please bear with us while this happens.
Tonight also we will be looking at upgrading the bug tracker and possibly merging the foonas bug tracker into this area.
Donation Drive Update – Server Disks Needed!
Tue, 14 Sep 2010 21:43:05
We are looking to upgrade our storage on our server with a couple of 2 TB disks. To do this we need to raise approximately $550 USD. We will be using what is currently in the reserve towards this but we need your help getting the rest.
We are advert free and do our best to provide you with this resource thanks to your kind donations. Three years ago you helped us buy a new server, which is now hosted for free at OSUOSL – this is the first new server hardware we have needed since then.
We hope this will be easy to achieve if everyone can give a little!
Please visit http://www.nas-central.org/donations – thank you for your help.
In the next post we will be letting you know a bit more about the NAS-Central infrastructure at OSUOSL.

A tribute to the Queen of Soul.
The documentary "Escape Fire: The Fight to Rescue American Healthcare" makes this argument with stunning clarity. It argues that American medical treatment is largely focused on getting people into hospitals and giving them drugs, two profit centers that are hugely expensive and supported by massive lobbying campaigns. Considering that hospitalization itself is listed as the third leading cause of death in the United States, the industry's track record is not convincing.
Childhood diabetes was all but unknown generations ago. Now it is commonplace. In the foreseeable future, half of Americans will have diabetes. It is a disease that hardly anyone should have. It is associated with obesity and lack of exercise, and promoted by excessive consumption of sugar, corn syrup and refined foods. When New York City bans the sale of Super Gulp-sized sugared soft drinks, it is a public health measure. I remember when a Coke came in a six-ounce bottle, and delicious it was. Now it comes in sizes so big that I question how the human bladder can deal with the intake.
The message of "Escape Fire" is one you've heard before, although few want to hear it. We should eat more whole foods and fewer refined carbohydrates. Junk food kills. Fast food kills. McDonald's advertises its salads but prices them way higher than a burger, and you can douse them with dressings containing sugar and fat.
Open-heart surgery is now part of a typical life experience for many people. Folks talk casually about "having a stent put in," as if they had their tires rotated. The stent is intended to speed the flow of blood through blocked veins and arteries. They are band-aids. Then new blockages occur.
The doc features Dr. Dean Ornish, whose studies have proven that coronary heart disease is reversible with diet and exercise. After years of being stonewalled by the medical establishment, he finally won Medicare approval of his treatment only two years ago. Its drawbacks are (1) no surgical entry into the body, and (2) no drugs. That means there is no money to be made from it.
A wise old doctor named Jakub Schlichter, who did me a great deal of good some years ago, liked to pat the Physicians' Drug Reference on his desk. It was as thick as a phone book. "There are thousands of drugs in this book," he would say. "The one that everyone is sure works is aspirin."
The film has a spine-tingling scene on board a medical evacuation flight from Afghanistan. A seriously wounded soldier is found clutching a bottle of pain pills, which is half empty. No one knows how many he has taken. He wants to urinate, and in trying to get out of his bunk, falls hard on the floor. "He may fall asleep and never wake up!" a medical worker wails. Other patients, from many different battlefield doctors, seem on a baffling pharmacy of drugs.
We meet Sgt. Robert Yates, a victim of post-traumatic stress disorder and chronic pain. He's treated with acupuncture, yoga and meditation, and pronounces himself pain-free. We learn that acupuncture has been tested and approved by the Air Force for more than 20 years, though few for-profit hospitals make it part of their practice.
One of the authorities in the film is Don Berwick, former head of Medicare. One of the subjects is Dr. Erin Martin, who says her employers pay her by the number of patients she sees in an hour. Many patients see a doctor for less than 10 minutes. The first hospital visit for many sick Americans is to an emergency room, the most expensive and hurried care available. Typical treatment for many people is a diagnosis and prescription drugs. Dr. Martin quits and studies to become an general practitioner with no time clock.
I am blessed with a big-hearted GP who treats with care and patience. In the old days, an appointment with Dr. Schlichter began with a 20- or 30-minute chat before any tests. "That is how I find out most of my information," he told me. Most people aren't lucky enough to ever encounter a doctor like this.
Fun fact: New Zealand and the United States are the only nations that permit drugs to be advertised on TV.

Weird and scary political times
The Democratic party finally settled on a candidate without making us wait for the 2012 presidential election. Despite the time factor, both Democrats and Republicans managed to select candidates armed with the educational background, credentials and experience that most would consider as reasonable qualifications for the job.
Just as things seemed to settle down, and the country appeared to be regaining a modicum of respect from the rest of the world, the great State of Minnesota reared its cold northern head and managed to come up with another weird political candidate. Al Franken was given the nod by the Democratic Party to run for the U. S. Senate. Imagine that.
I say "another weird political candidate" because Minnesota voters seem to have started a pattern. First they elected Jesse "The Body" Ventura, a community college dropout, Navy Seal, motorcycle gang member, Rolling Stones bodyguard and professional wrestler as their governor. Now they want to elect a Saturday Night Live comedian, author, Playboy columnist, and political talk radio show host as their U. S. Senator.
Now, mind you, being a political talk show host for his own program on Air America Radio for the last four years or so does make him something of a political pundit in the eyes of the far left.
However, is he really much more than a Democratic version of Rush Limbaugh, only with a liberal arts degree from Harvard College and serious back tax issues? Remember - the program is still "talk radio," an opportunity for every nut job on the planet to call in and speak his mind, or lack thereof.
Limbaugh never graduated from anything beyond high school. According to his mother, he flunked all his college courses before dropping out after a little more than two semesters at Southeast Missouri State University. At least he's had the decency to never attempt to run for political office.
Franken has never held an elected or appointed political position on any level either. However, anyone who authored and published a book titled, "Rush Limbaugh is a Big Fat Idiot and Other Observations" cannot be all bad.
Ventura's only political experience was a two-year term as Mayor of Brooklyn Park, Minn., before his election to a two-year term as Minnesota's governor. His abrasive manner and lack of understanding about the workings of government was ill received by most of his colleagues when he was mayor. The feelings at the state house followed suit when he was miraculously elected as governor. He wisely chose not to run for re-election to either post.
The most surprising part of Franken's immediate rise to political fame was that his only competitor, college professor and peace activist Jack Nelson-Pallmeyer, withdrew after Franken passed the necessary 60 percent threshold on the first ballot. Why would a political nobody like Franken scare off a university professor with a political science degree so easily? I can't imagine.
Nonetheless - What were Minnesotans thinking? Is getting bashed on Saturday Night Live a prerequisite for attaining high political office in the good ol' U. S. of A?
McCain, Clinton, and Obama all made appearances on the program as part of their campaign strategies during the primaries. Should we assume that Minnesota voters believe nearly two decades on the political spoof-fest as a basher as opposed to a bashee should make Franken a shoo-in for an office that could be used as a stepping stone to greater things?
I cannot help but wonder how launching a political career based on a background as a comedian and talk radio show host is perceived by people in other countries. Some folks take positions as heads of state rather seriously.
Never let it be said that I consider myself even close to being a political expert, so my criticisms should be taken with the proverbial grain of salt. For all I know, a lighthearted approach to politics is just what the planet needs.
Perhaps we should engage Barnum & Bailey to take the helm of our political circus. Bozo the clown could be in charge of human resources and be the final word on who gets booked on SNL before any major election. A clown . . . Hmmm . . . How creepy.
Clarabelle, the equally terrifying clown of Howdy Doody fame could be used as the icon to get the "mature" vote.
The "blue collar" comedians, Jeff Foxworthy, Bill Engvall, Ron White, and Larry the Cable Guy could strategize the labor vote.
George Carlin could be appointed to foreign affairs to handle the tough cases, like trading insults with Hugo Chavez and any delegate from Iran. If he didn't succeed, we could always send in Rosie O'Donnell.
"Ahnold" Schwarzenegger and Jesse "The Body" Ventura could team with Jackie Chan and Jet Li on a foreign relations subcommittee.
The entire electoral system could be revamped. All public officials could be appointed to office according to Neilsen ratings and polls. As soon as public servants dropped in the ratings, they could be replaced as if they were cabinet members or comedy/dramas that appeal to teenage girls.
The finance committee could adopt the Hollywood accounting system so the budget would always look good and everyone would make a profit on paper.
Actually, when I look at this plan, it's not really much different from the way things are run now. I guess if Kinky Friedman, band leader of Kinky Friedman and the Texas Jewboys, could get 12.8 percent of the votes for Texas governor, Al Franken could be elected as a U. S. Senator.
Obviously, politics are a large part of that system we can't understand.

McLeod, Kincaid have varying views on Hoffman Estates spending
The two mayoral candidates for Hoffman Estates have varying views on the way the village spends money.
Mayor William McLeod, who is seeking re-election for a fourth term, said he thinks the village's finances are stable and he hopes to keep them that way for the next four years.
"I think we've been very careful in the money that's spent," he said.
Ray Kincaid, who is currently a trustee on the village board, said the village needs to tighten up and take a closer look at where money is being spent.
"We've been cutting," he said. "Now it's an issue of just making sure we reallocate those dollars and get some (services) back to the people."
Since McLeod took office in 2001, the village has paid for numerous multimillion dollar projects -- such as the renovation of village hall and the construction of a new police station -- that Kincaid described as "too aggressive."
McLeod said the police station project was desperately needed for public safety. He said the station and renovated village hall will both last for the next 50 to 60 years.
"I think we spent what we had to spend on it," he said.
And he said the minutes of the meetings showed the board, including Kincaid, unanimously approved the projects.
Kincaid said he did not agree with raising the tax levy this year by 0.6 percent to pay for police pensions. He felt the money could have been diverted from elsewhere, such as legal fees and the purchase of road salt. By doing so, he added, it would have saved the police department some embarrassment from the fact that they were the reason the levy was raised.
McLeod said the village has worked to keep the levy "pretty much constant" in recent years. In response to diverting money from one area to another, he said all the departments are important.
"Every business has expenses and the biggest expenditure is always the employees," he said, adding that the village is spending less than in the past because the number of village employees decreased by 60 in the last four years. "There's no way around that, whether it's government, a business or retail. To provide the service you have to have employees."
One of Kincaid's top spending priorities is to repair roads in the village, in particular side roads and streets in neighborhoods. Again, he thinks money could be diverted from elsewhere to pay for the roads. He said some of them should have been fixed eight years ago.
"Streets seem to be the item that was the can that got kicked down the road," he said.
McLeod said maintaining infrastructure, including water systems and roadways, is important to him too.
Kincaid would like to see money spent treating trees infected by emerald ash borer. McLeod said there he would like to see the village remove dead or dying trees.
"Treating them doesn't work all that well," he said. "Eventually the trees are going to die anyway."
While McLeod has touted the amount of information on village finances that is posted on the village's website, Kincaid said that as a trustee, he feels like he has to be "some type of detective" to find out about where some money is being spent.
"That's just not right. A trustee should be able to get that information," he said. "I should know without having to ask a lot of questions."

Autism recurs in families more often than previously thought; underscores importance of early
Many parents of children with autism want to know the likelihood of having another child on the spectrum. Knowing that younger siblings are at high risk can promote earlier screening, diagnosis and therapy, which may improve outcomes.
This year brought clearer guidance with the largest study of infants with one or more older siblings on the autism spectrum. It found that these younger siblings have close to a 1 in 5 chance (20 percent) of developing an autism spectrum disorder (ASD). This is considerably higher than previous estimates of 3 percent to 10 percent, based on much smaller studies that used various methods of ASD diagnosis.
The researchers also found a higher rate of autism among baby brothers (about 1 in 4, or 25 percent) than among baby sisters (about 1 in 9, or 11 percent). For infants with more than one sibling on the autism spectrum, the risk of developing ASD was even higher—about 1 in 3.
The study, led by Sally Ozonoff, Ph.D., University of California, Davis, MIND Institute, assessed 664 infants, all of whom had at least one older sibling with a verified diagnosis of ASD. They did not find a link between autism risk and the severity of symptoms in the older sibling. Nor did they find an effect on risk from other family characteristics such as parental age or education, ethnicity or birth order, or an older sibling's gender or IQ.
The researchers enrolled infants very early (two-thirds of them before 6 months) before symptoms of autism become obvious. The clinicians then followed the babies through 36 months of age. They used gold standard diagnostic methods and comprehensive assessments performed by expert clinicians.
The findings highlight the need for close monitoring and screening of infants with an older sibling on the autism spectrum, Ozonoff says. Identifying early signs of autism can help clinicians and families take advantage of intervention strategies that can improve outcomes.
The study's researchers are members of Autism Speaks Baby Siblings Research Consortium, an international network that coordinates studies and pools data from affected families in 21 sites in the US, Canada, Israel and the UK. Autism Speaks also funded the study's cross-site analyses through a grant to co-author Gregory S. Young Ph.D., also of the University of California, Davis.
